New Orleans is one of three winners of a free one-mile tunnel project intended to improve city transit.
Elon Musk's The Boring Company announced the Tunnel Vision Challenge in January, calling on local governments, companies, or individuals to submit proposals for a one-mile tunnel 12 feet in diameter.
On Tuesday, the company named New Orleans as a winner, along with Dallas and Baltimore. It's not known who submitted the New Orleans proposal.
The Boring Company says it will build the projects for free if they're feasible.
